French Renaissance architect. Born into a family of builders in Lyon. He spent 1533-36 in Rome, where he studied ancient architecture and Italian Renaissance architecture. After returning to France, he was recognized by King Henry II and became the Chief Architect of the Royal Court, designing the Mausoleum of Francis I at the Basilica of Saint-Denis (1547) and the Château de Anet (1552-59), among others. After the death of the king, he fell out of favor for a time, and wrote two books, "New Practical Constructions of Houses" (1561) and "General Architecture" (1567, only the first volume). These were the first architectural theoretical books in France, and had a great influence on the French architectural world of his time and in later generations. In his later years, he designed the Tuileries Palace for Catherine de Medici (completed posthumously, but now destroyed). He died in Paris.

フランス・ルネサンスの建築家。リヨンの建築職人の家に生まれる。1533~36年にローマに滞在して古代建築やイタリア・ルネサンスの建築を学ぶ。帰国後はアンリ2世に認められ王室建築総監となり、サン・ドニ聖堂のフランソア1世廟(びょう)(1547)、アネの城館(1552~59)などを設計。王の死後一時失脚した時期に、『実用新住宅建築構造』(1561)、『建築概論』(1567、第一巻のみ)の二著を執筆したが、これらはフランスにおける最初の建築理論書として同時代および後世のフランス建築界に多大の影響を与えた。晩年にはカトリーヌ・ド・メディシスのためにチュイルリー宮の設計を行った(死後完成したが現在は破壊)。パリで没。 [篠塚二三男] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
